This is a randomized, control trial to investigate the effect and safety of Phentermine in patients with obesity who need a bariatric surgery (BMI >35 kg/m2 with comorbidities or BMI > 40 kg/m2). Screening will be made to select eligible participants before intervention. Participants were randomly

A recent clinical study published in 2014 on the New England Journal of Medicine found that often even an initial modest body weight reduction can favourably modify apnea events and severity during the night, with the latter that can be reduced by about 30% (AHI) for a 10% weight reduction compared

The study drug used in this research study is perampanel, an FDA approved medication for the treatment of seizures. The study is being done to examine whether the study drug affects the following non-invasive tests of brain activity: electroencephalogram (EEG), visual evoked potential (VEP),

Each subject will receive one infusion of autologous, radiolabeled and BioRBC labeled INTERCEPT RBCs (Test RBCs) and one infusion of autologous BioRBC labeled untreated RBCs (Control RBCs) concomitantly. Each infusion will be approximately 20 mL, i.e., 10 mL of 51-chromium labeled RBC, and 10 mL of

Introduction Statins are widely used in the treatment and prevention of lipid metabolism disorders. They are generally well tolerated but not devoid of side effects. These include, among others, muscular symptoms, arthritis, headaches, gynecomastia. Myositis and rhabdomyolysis associated with

Research design This study is a double blind randomized clinical trial to determine differences in wave amplitude P50 and N95 on pattern ERG examination, visual field defects (LP) with Humphrey HFA (Humphrey Field Analyzer) II-i 750, 24-2 threshold and ganglion cell thickness with OCT CirrusTM
